    This paper is concerned with a partial connection between three unsolved problems in geometric combinatorics: Falconer's distance set conjecture, the dimension of Furstenburg sets, and Erdős's ring problem. The authors introduce discretized variants of these conjectures and prove in their main theorem that these discretized variants are equivalent.
